The course emphasizes the use of technology in order to enhance and support pedagogy and content and is based on the TPACK model ( Mishra & Koehler, 2006)

"Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK). The TPACK framework builds on Shulman’s idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge." Dr. Matthew J. Koehler on MAY 13, 2011 Retrieved from link – June 2012
